Probably a daft question but......
Has anyone found any MPs worth voting for yet?

The sad thing is there will be some good ones but they have been lost in the shenanigans (good word that and I am pleased I've got to use it) of the last few years. The best tend to be the local ones with no minsterial ambitions. They tend to be less tied to the party line and free to express honest opinions. Once MP's become part of the official team all free thought seems to be lost.
 
Also for all those in favour of copy pasting tweets from right wing commentators or the Tory party itself, worth a read. There's no need for the Ruskies to start falsifying the truth or spreading false information, as the Tories are happily doing it in plain sight. Which has no doubt been retweeted by the usual suspects who some on here see as reliable news sources.

Some might argue we are witnessing the dismantling of a proper democracy based on free and fair elections before our very eyes.

To be brutally honest I did not know what WJK was referring to, but I get it now. Yes, relatively harmless in a way and there are much bigger things to worry about. But a bit telling that people have to put some vague derogatory nickname down for someone every time if they do not agree with their politics. I'm sure they have all been called worse, especially on social media if you are a female MP in the current climate, but hey ho.

Very true on your last sentence with both Cherry and Sturgeon threatened with thinly disguised terrorist death/kidnapping/disfigurement threats this week.
Who are these terrorists, why do the nearly always target women?
They are Unionist party candidates and supporters in the next UK election.:(

"Stopping Brexit will deliver a £50bn "Remain bonus" for public services over the next five years, Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson will say.

From off BBC.....How? They never say just how. Now I'm not picking on JS coz they are all the same. None of them can tell us how they can substantiate their own claims.

Perhaps if she had said a £48.73m bonus we might not have thought she had just picked a figure out of the air.:unsure:
